What does a major stock licence say about editorial content, model and property releases, and use of content as a trademark?
The Getty Images EULA says editorial content is not model or property released, makes the licensee responsible for third-party approvals before commercial use, warrants publicity/privacy and trademark only where Getty states a release was obtained (and only for content as delivered), bars use as the distinctive feature of a trademark or logo, and carries a separate no-machine-learning/AI/biometric restriction.
